How much did JB's Olympic experience affect this team?

A good deal...at the very least I'd say it's given him some insight into how to manage big egos.

But I think the biggest thing is that he's become the ultimate "system" guy now. The zone has been working to the max due to a buy-in of team defense the last three years.

I think Coach K the savant probably had a calming influence on him. He seems a lot more confident in his team's abilities and their strengths and weaknesses than ever before.
 
...not only manage egos but how to do deep into bench without being overly worried of outcome...if you have the horses...use them...
 
This would be a good Coach's Show question for SWC.

I think it was asked a few weeks ago. He said they have plays in their playbook straight from D'Antoni and from Coach K he's mainly learned about the psychological side of things. How to get in players heads and how to motivate different types of players. (This is all from my memory which isn't great)
